Everyone is beautiful, there are no losers.
I post pictures here like everyone else.
I'm positive that some of my snakes aren't as nice as other peoples, while some really are super nice; basically, it varies widely.
Where am I going with this? We'll, I am honest with myself.
Sometimes I get sick of looking at pictures here because everything is sugar coated. Everyones everything is awesome.
Every time someone posts a pic of a herp all i hear is "congrats, super looking, or, awesome, or whatever. Could it be that everyone's everything is top notch?
No.
Its either 1) every snake is beautiful or 2) not every snake is beautiful; we just blow smoke up each others butts and pretend.
I guess this sorta makes sense though... if we look at this through the eyes of a parent; every parent thinks their kids are beautiful, when the reality is some kids are just plain hurtin. We can either be Politically correct or Honest.
I guess it takes a single person to be honest about this; I have no kids and no wife to nag me about this post. I can say the truth and there are no consequence for me.
I have a few ball pythons that are considered "poor expressions" of the type, and at least I know the difference.
This kind of "everyone is beautiful, there are no losers attitude" also reminds me of some horse-crap I heard about when kids fail in school now; its no longer called "failing", but some sugar-coated crap called "deferred success".
I'm still pretty young (i guess), but I come from a time where kids could still fail (and were allowed to fail), still get still get their asses kicked in school and through it all still take it all as an opportunity to rise above it and kick ass in our own rights.
